A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has
been made and that too by lady in
this county. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent For three
months she coughed necessarily and
could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
for consumption and was SO mnch re-
lieved ON taking the first dose that she
slept all night and with one bottle has
been miraculously cured. Her uame
is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus write w.

The story about Bill Lonely having
defeated the ends of justice by the aid
of rich California uncle who gave
his executioner $4,000 to save bis
neck with all iron frame under his
clothes, and his now being pros
porous ranchero in South America, is
creating good deal OF interest
throughout the country. There have
popped up over the state number
OF witnesses to the execution who as
sert they saw Lonely hanged, but his
father who told the story has not yet
denied it; and now comes Mr.. Tilford
Whitesides an honored and RESPONSE
BILE citizen of Grimes county and says
that the father of Bill Lonely told
him this same story of Bills escape
several years ago, but he has regarded
it as a secret until he taw it published
that the elder Lonely had himself al.
vulged it. Mr.. Whitesides is known
to the HERALD and his statement
goes far toward confirming the story
as most probably true one.

In tho make up OF the next con-
grcss ono man of the Texas delegation
should, and doubtless will como In
for honorable distinction, and that one
is r.. @. Mills, in appointment to the
position of chairman of the high and
responsible committee of Ways and
Means. Col. Mills has occupied the
second place Oh that committee for
several years in the absence OF Chair
man Morrison, and has served as chair
man pro tenn, always with credit TO
himself and advantage to the country
Col. Mills stands as one Of the aplest
and most faithful advocates Of tariil
reform in congress, and as such per-
sistent and able friend OF the people
on this issue is n very proper man for
the craftsmanship of this committee
The HERALD has differed with Col
Mills, and fought him to the best OF
its ability ON a question at issue in the
recent campaign, but as Democrat
and a tariff reform Democrat
the HERALD takes pleasure in ex-
pressing its appreciation and admira'
ton of Col. Mills tariff reduction
views and his indeiatigable efforts on
the WAYS and Means committee III
that direction, and the hope, too, that
the cause OF tariff reform may be pro-
NOTED and Texas honored by his ap-
pointment to the Craftsmanship OF the
committee.

In another column Of the HERALD
this evening will be found some forcl-
BILE and pertinent iuterrogatories to
the Morning News, in regard to its
charges by insinuation and inuendo
against members of the Pro. State
Central Committee lately assembled in
Waco. The News intimated that it
was in possession of information OF a
secret conspiracy there and then en-
tered into, the purpose of which was
the disintegration OF the Democratic
party, and the election of Bonner as
governor and other prohibitionists TO
the other State offices respectively
The News inuendoos were copied
and made to do service at Waco and
other points in the State. Mr.. Fer

The policy of the anti prohibition
democrats of Texas, if adopted by the
state convention, would drive from
the party organization a few thous-
and Democrats, but rot enough to
endanger the success of the party
tickets in this state. But is
this the case in Tennessee
Mississippi, Arkansas and the Carroll
as? In those States the $4,000 to 3d.
900 Democrats who would like co.
600 of 100000 in Texas consider them
selves excluded if strict anti plank is
adopted, are not to spare. Every DEM
ocratic vote is needed in those States.
And yet il the arbitrary anti policy
prevails in Texas why should it
not be adopted in others States? Ger
tainly Mills, Clark, Gibbs, and others
are lending their influence to policy
which will lose three or four South
ern States to the Democracy.

Interesting wheat statistics.

There is now in store in country cleva.
tors on all lines of railroad in Minnesota
md Dakota, outside of Minneapolis, st,
Paul and Duluth, 20, o0O, 600 bushels in
round numbers, the actual figures being
20, 100. 600. OF this amount it is estimat,
ed that z, 600, 900 bushels are old wheat
which has been held over from last crop,
leaving Is, 600, 600 bushels OF the new crop
in store now.
The greatest amount OF wheat is held on
the Northern lines OF railroad, more than
two-thirds OF the entire amount being in
that section OF Minnesota and Dakota
north OF an east and west line through
Minneapolis. There is no doubt that il the
above estimate OF amount in country ele.
vators is correct that the crop is near
ninety-6ye millions.
1t appears that about 40, 000, 900 bush
els OF this have been shipped and in tran
sit, leaving Is, 600, 900 in country eleva-
tors. and, with the usual allowance for
bread and seed, Ii, 000. 900 in farmers
hands TO come forward. 1t also appears
that Minneapolis is getting a much larger
proportion Of the shipments this year
than last.
